Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
Explanation : There is an incorrect use of the plural form in the sentence. The word "habitats" should be replaced with "habitat" to convey the intended meaning of a plan to reintroduce grey wolves to their original living environment. Since the sentence talks about just one type of animal, they have the same living environment, and thus, the singular form "habitat" is to be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Scientists intended to reintroduce and conserve grey wolves in their original habitat. "
